My EDC is a fairly complete kit in a camera case with shoulder strap that's 7"X4"X4" with two pockets stuffed full. It doesn't attract attention (lots of tourists here). The kit and everything in it is my backup to a backup to my primary kit. My little about town kit has one of the whistle, magnifying glass, compass, thermometer combo's and it's good enough to point me in a general direction, alert someone I'm in trouble and start a fire on a sunny day. I also have a mil. spec lensatic compass in my fishing vest kit and am waiting for my birthday to receive a newer compass, but don't know which one she bought yet, lol.
